In 1980 Gerald Moore - of G.T. Moore and the Reggae Guitars and Heron fame - was in Kingston, Jamaica working with Lee Perry on the eturn of Pipecock Jackxon LP. Gerald went into Harry Js studio with James Lascelles (Global Village Trucking Company, The Breakfast Band) and Bud Beadle (Ginger Baker & Salt) alongside members of Zap Pow: Don Grant, Cornell Marshall and Dwight Pinkney.Of the four tracks recorded (two vocal and two instrumental) only topia was ever released (on the Black Star Liner label in 1980 and then reissued by Partial in 2014).The tapes sat around gathering dust for the best part of 40 years and are now finally unearthed. Mixed directly from the masters by Dougie Wardrop are Jerusalem, Working For The Dollar and Constant Spring. Also Utopia gets a fresh mix.

All tracks written by G.T. Moore except `Constant Spring' and `Stony Hill Dub' written by James Lascelles.
Recorded while Gerald was in Jamaica working on a project with Lee Perry in 1980.
The master tapes of the four tracks that were recorded at the Harry J sessions were only recently discovered. `Utopia' was the only track that had been given a final mix back in the day. It was released on 7" on the Black Star Liner later in the year and then reissued on Partial Records in 2014. The other tracks were never mixed until early 2017 when this task was undertaken by Dougie Wardrop. As well as mixing `Jerusalem' (Gerald did a later version of this tune for Rej Forte's Jah Works label in the early 1990s), `Working For The Dollar' and `Constant Spring', it was decided that `Utopia' should also enjoy a fresh mix.
